Acts 27:43-44

Expanded Bible

⁴³ But ·Julius, the officer, [^Lthe centurion] wanted to ·let Paul live [^Lsave Paul] and ·did not allow the soldiers to kill the prisoners [^Lstopped them from their plan]. Instead he ordered everyone who could swim to jump into the water first and swim to land. ⁴⁴ The rest were to follow using wooden boards or pieces of the ship. And this is how all the people made it safely to land.
